Debug submission clarifications and instructions

[fpetric]

Hi everyone,

here are some clarifications on the debug submission.

Purpose

The goal is for you to test whether your code will work on our machines. This includes proper build of docker container, cloning, copying files, python nodes being executable, missing packages, failed imports and whatever may prevent your code from running at all. Ideally, your solution should be mostly ready.

Is it mandatory

No, but it is highly suggested you use this opportunity. We had more than a couple of teams not have their solutions evaluated due to "silly" issues.

What is the deadline for this

It was supposed to be today, but to clarify the confusion and give you some time, February 22nd, 2025, 23:59 AOE is the deadline.

How to submit

Package your solution in the same way as intermediate, upload to the same folder. It should overwrite the existing file. If it doesn't, let me know via email

Teams that missed intermediate deadline

Due to me not clearly stating that the intermediate submission is mandatory and serves as a proof of participation, the teams that missed the email with links for the intermediate submission MUST submit a debug submission to confirm their participation.

Will we move the final deadline?

If we do, it will only be for a couple of days (March 2nd at the latest).

Hi, I wanted to confirm a few things:

1. Do we have to publish aruco positions as we locate them on /target_found in world frame, exactly as done in intermediate submission?
2. Could you let us know if we have to return to launch after completion of the mission?
3. Could you let me know what are the penalties relating to collisions and exceeding time limits (if any).
4. Could you confirm the bounds under which we should be flying to have no penalties?

Thank you

1. Yes, that is the goal of the mission.
2. While we will not check this at this point, yes.
3. Regarding the penalties, you can check the last year scoring scheme since we will use something similar: Submission 2 eval, points and more icuas24_competition#50
4. All evaluation arenas will have a floor that will be visible in the octomap that will mark the area that can be flown above, so the bounds for flying are the bounding box of the provided octomap.

Thank you for the clarifications!
